What's involved?
Prior to the start of the internship, our various tech teams will propose potential projects for interns. We select the projects that are the most valuable to the firm and that stand to provide the most engaging and valuable experience. Interns are then assigned to selected projects in pairs, reporting to a senior engineer. Throughout the internship, interns receive comprehensive support from our teams. In addition to direct mentorship by their managers, this support includes regular seminars on the many segments of the MW tech estate, informational sessions on other areas of the business with senior leaders, social events, and opportunities to engage in the firm’s charitable activities. All of this is in service of our goal to provide our interns with extensive professional and technical development and a broad understanding of our business and of the finance industry at large.

Why join us?
Technology is at our core. It’s industry-defining and best-in-class, but we are striving for even more. You’ll have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies while learning from some of the best technicians in the business.
As a technology intern, this is a chance to accelerate your skill set and gain invaluable real-world experience. You will be continually challenged to learn new skills, work on novel tasks, and push yourself out of your comfort zone.
Of course, this is also one pathway to our early careers rotation scheme. See what some of our previous early talent says here.
